Pianist Alexander Malofeev to perform with BPO

[@xilefregnu9542]

His humility is as beautiful as his talent and himself. He has grownup and is so charming and open and his laughter is delightful.

[@lizarivera8858]

Un pianiste extraordinaire et un jeune homme d’une grande gentillesse et humilité. Un grand représentant de la Russie. J’ai eu l’honneur de vous entendre à Buffalo à deux reprises. Inoubliable. Merci infiniment.

I am in my seventies and my dream would be to hear Alexander play live.

Aside from being an extremely talented artist, he is also a very sincere and touching human being.

[@emilyhutjes]

Oh yes he certainly is a touching young man and a genius.

[@alanpotter8680]

Humble, is what he is. Humility is so rare in people, that often it's considered a bad thing. Alexander is one of a kind.

[@НеллиКузнецова-ь8ю]

Для меня он лучший пианист.Молодец!

Alexander will return once again to Buffalo in late November 2023. I’m looking forward to seeing him again.

[@robertjason6885]

Alex is a most wonderful pianist. Much of what I admire is his most modest manner. He shares the stage. post performance with his orchestra and conductor most endearingly. I wish him continued success, good health, and happiness. He deserves all the success.

[@alfonsorivadeneyra6966]

Peter is a good interviewer. He really asked about everything, but with such empathy and sense of humor.

So so talented, and I gotta say, quite beautiful.

Incredible down to earth young man. I’m hoping that some day he can perform at the Palm Springs California Arts theatre. Would love to be in the audience.

[@capacityplus]

He will get such a welcome when all this is over.

[@liesieadvertensies7341]

What a delightful , beautifully humble young man. I just listened to his Rachmaninov 3 and it brought me to tears. I cannot but wish him everyting good and wonderful in his life, which will no doubt be incredibly illustrious and hopefully long-lived.

Mein größter Wunsch ist Alexander spielen zu hören. Für mich ist er einer der besten Interpreten der Musik ❤

Thank you for publishing this interview! Unfortunately I missed his performance in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Hope he will visit our country soon again, but then in the beautiful Concert Hall of Amsterdam, with great acoustics.🎹🙏

Merveilleux talent pour ce jeune homme de dix huit ans

[@larkspur77]

I agree with all who express their love and admiration for this phenomenal artist and human! I hope one day to hear him play in the concert hall. Following him on KZbin him since a child has been a priveldge. A question: if Alexander finds the Prokofiev easy or not too hard(?!?) which concertos or pieces does he find difficult? It would be very interesting to know. Does anyone recall hearing Alexander say what he finds challenging to play?

[@mikhailvale8730]

Саша ! Ты просто молодец ! Всего тебе наилучшего ! Мы купили билеты на твой концерт в Morrow, GA в Марте ! Очень ждём твоего концерта !

[@enaralva]

Surprises me that a such a high talented young pianist still live with his parents in a little apartment, sharing one bedroom with his sister. Lang Lang at his age was a millionaire!

[@bibigems]

Russia. Enough said.

[@emilyhutjes]

@@bibigems I guess all of us have to write a nice letter to Mr. Putin asking him for a house voor Alexander Malofeev.

Thst's exactly the difference between them.LL is an entertainer and a showman.Alexander is a serious musician who serves the music not the other way around.He is humble,modest and sincere and his passion is the music.He is reserved, no theatricals.He lets the music speak.A true and authentic artist.

Buffalo Toronto Public Media: Hello Buffalo, when is Alexander Malofeev coming back to play with your Orchestra ? And will you please announce it here and put the entire concert on youtube later? 🌷

[@organbuilder272]

The Golden Boy. SUch a performer. Amazing talent. Do people know this young fellow has relatives in Ukraine. Such a conflict. Listen to him as an artist so talented, Keep politics away from art.

[@bibigems]

Wonderful prodigy young man! It saddens me to see the date of this interview. The date Russia invaded Ukraine. Crying.

[@dannypollak7583]

All Concerts canceled now, and he won’t be able to get out of Russia.

[@emilyhutjes]

@DannyPollak If they don't let Alexander Malofeev travel I will send a tweet to the Kremlin 🙂

[@bibigems]

Sad for Russian artists. They suffer and have always suffered under the Russian communist regime. So sad. So very sad. This young man is phenomenal and truly gifted. He has a beautiful personality. God bless him. I feel for him. He spoke out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and one of his concerts in the U.S. was cancelled because of this. Damn putin.

[@SophiaChibah-py1ye]

Why it is stupid...

[@jonmanabimichael]

I think he now lives in Berlin ... and is an outspoken critic of the Russian invasion of Ukraine ... I have scheduled and missed him twice in the USA ... 2 years ago in Ravinia, cancelled due to Covid and this last March in San Francisco when a kidney stone resulted in my forced cancellation ... I AM going to Buffalo in November 2023 to see him, most definitely ... driving 10 hours one way.

I am surprised that an artist of his magnitude isn't paid enough to afford the luxury of living in grander accommodations. If I were wealthy he would want for nothing. I admire greatness. It angers me how much is paid to our athletes in the US when, in my opinion, there talents, are nothing in comparison to Alexanders

[@jamesonstalanthasyu]

Nice discussion of his play style and history in music. When was this filmed? Seems odd to not have any mention of the Ukraine invasion's by Russia, unless it was decided not to mention it by rules before the interview. Also odd that he refences the influence of the Soviet Union, instead of just Russia, given his young age. I suppose that is the narrative that all his teachers and the older generation have, to use it interchangeably.

[@BuffaloTorontoPublicMedia]

Hi, thank you for your comment! This interview was recorded before these events.

[@riacalitz14]

He merely stated how important the arts were in the previous era.It set the tone for the artists of the future, which is the present day.Not much else positive can be said of that oppressive regime,but they fully supported the artists and promoted the arts.They indeed have a proud and outstanding musical heritage.

[@mariapap8962]

Good for him and for the interviewer, not mentioning anything regarding politics. Why should they?! It's about time music and the arts had NOTHING to do with politics!

[@ludmilarytchkova3456]

I agree 100. Just people who is not understanding the power, beauty and the goal of the Art can do such a bad comment ( about this "invasion". Ok, let start from invasion in Iraq and so on...)@@mariapap8962

Honte à BPO, Hall WNED et KZbin de présenter cette petite charogne pro Poutine pendant que nos amis Ukrainiens souffrent ou meurent… GLOIRE AU PEUPLE UKRAINIEN !!!

[@brunoguitteny5862]

Il n’était pas né que déjà Poutine était installé, si vous suivez son parcours , il ne passe sont temps qu’à travailler et même s’il a pu un moment où un autre croiser professionnellement des proches du pouvoir( ce qui est le cas de tous les grands artistes, même dans nos magnifiques démocraties )ses récentes déclarations sont sans ambiguïté, et il est fort probable qu’il ne puisse pas rentrer dans son pays avant longtemps. Vous savez certainement des choses que je ne connais pas! Mais le traiter de " petite charogne " ne rendra pas le sort des Ukrainiens plus doux malheureusement.

@@brunoguitteny5862 Truth is , re Danial B , the Russian people are not our enemies nor are the Ukranians for that matter . Leaders take our sons off to war while civilians as always become the pawns in any political game . I am a pacifist so I don't support war as a way to settle our differences . So I do not agree with Danial B either as polarizing sides into good and evil does not solve our human condition. We all have a shadow side which we all need to take note off . Projecting our shadow onto a person or group solves nothing to be honest . We are all brothers and sisters on this very small planet . Perhaps, we the people , need to remind our leaders of such. Further such reminders might lead to the people choosing wise leaders on all sides . Otherwise we will wipe each other off the face of this planet by our technology which has no respect for our human condition.
